CX Advanced Entry Cadet- maximum age?

Hi everyone,

Although CX publish a minimum age for the Advanced Entry Cadetship, do they have an upper age limit?

I'm about to turn 41 with just over 300hrs TT, an Australian CPL/ Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating and all ATPL subjects. Currently I work in a Flight Dispatch capacity for an Australian Airline.

I'm fully aware of the degradation in the overall remuneration package for S/O's at CX, and have spent time in an alternative career developing some financial security. As such, we have the ability to ride out some leaner years of lower pay and no HKG Housing allowance.

Given the current state of the Industry in Australia, and having weighed up all available options (not many), the CX Advanced Entry Cadetship is currently the best way for me to achieve my career goals.

Would be great to hear your thoughts- is it worth giving it a go at my age or am I being unrealistic?

Cheers,
Gearup.
